This polish ticks my boxes. I love bronzey colours (I find them a great neutral), I love foils, and I loved the inspiration behind the Capitol Colors collection. Indeed, when this goes live, I very much hope I'll be by a pool reading the Hunger Games books...and hopefully not covered in sunburn and insect bites, as usually happens when I go away.

That said, this sat in my polish box for ages before I reached for it. I kept meaning to, but because I knew I'd like it, it seemed like the 'safe' choice. So eventually I picked it up last night and threw it on, and I don't just like it, I love it. The flecks are very slightly different colours (a bit like LA girl Copper Alloy, which I will get better swatches of one day....) so it sparkles orange and gold in the sun. It's pretty.

I have a fav deep copper shade from an old OPI collection that I always pull out fall and winter. It's from the old holiday collection that has a bunch of music named colors but most of the shades were in ambers, bronze group. This shade from HG collection is a bit like those, but I bought it anyway! Only wore it 1 time and going to wear it more come fall.
